Giving Back

Charity and volunteering strengthen our communities, bring people together and provide us with valuable insight and a greater sense of purpose. So we’re donating all proceeds from our 20-minute consultations to charity and giving our employees vacation to volunteer.

Some of the Ways We Give Back

Employee-Inspired Volunteering

Our employees getpaid time off to volunteer for a charity of their choice and make a positive impact on the world in whatever way they choose.

Pro Bono Work

In an effort to raise awareness and promote mental health wellbeing, our team’s talent and skills are shared with the community in the form of free workshops, educational sessions, among other services.

Team-Inspired Donations

We donate all proceeds from 20-minute consultations to charity organisations chosen by our team members.

Brisbane City Psychologists will be donating all proceeds from $20 Consultations during May and June 2018 to BlueHope.

BlueHope was created to provide support to former and current police officers, as well as their families, suffering from mental health issues. Having served as police officers themselves, they understand how they are often reluctant to reach out for help and use the internal support system. They have therefore created this not-for-profit organisation to provide independent and confidential support service, provided by people with policing experience.

Brisbane City Psychologists donated all proceeds from 20-minute consultations during March and April 2018 to OrangeSky Australia.

Orang Sky Australia is a free mobile laundry service for people experiencing homelessness. A brilliant idea founded by two 20-year-old Brisbane mates, Nic Marchesi and Lucas Patchett, who installed a couple of washing machines and dryers in the back of their old van, visiting parks in Brisbane to wash and dry clothes for free.

They not only help improve hygiene standards and restore dignity to people doing it tough but also tap into something more significant: the power of having meaningful conversations with people in need. The provision of such platform for conversation has become their main mission, attracting our attention as we understand how influential it can be in the lives of those struggling with mental health issues.

We would like to donate enough to fund 100 washes = 100 hours of meaningful conversations.

Brisbane City Psychologists donated all proceeds from 20-minute consultations during January and February 2018 to the Blind Eye Drop-in Centre in South Brisbane.

The Blind Eye Centre is a daytime sanctuary for the most vulnerable in our city. It is based on Christian values and behaviour with each individual being treated with dignity and respect.They run regular activities and provide basic facilities and services such as showers, a coffee and tea bar, and lunch daily at 12 pm among others, to assist those with a variety of needs. The centre is privately funded and runs on a volunteer basis.

Brisbane City Psychologists hosted a Toy & Food Drive in December 2017 for The Salvation Army Christmas Appeal to support their objective to bring hope to kids and teenagers in need over the Christmas period.

Food, toys and gifts donated by both clients and team members were delivered to The Salvation Christmas Warehouse in Bowen Hills on the 14th December 2017, just in time for their amazing volunteers to pack lovely boxes and deliver to those in need before Christmas!

Brisbane City Psychologists donated all proceeds from 20-minute consultations during November and December 2017 to The Salvation Army – Christmas Appeal.

Every year, The Salvation Army gives hope by providing food hampers and gifts to children and families in need during the Christmas season. They also run free Christmas meals across the country, every year. These events bring together those who are doing it tough, for a meal and companionship.

Brisbane City Psychologists donated all proceeds from 20-minute consultations during September and October 2017 to BlueKnot Foundation.

BlueKnot Foundation is a leading national not-for-profit organisation. Their main purpose is to help improve the lives of 1 in 4 adult Australians (5 million) who have experienced childhood trauma and abuse in all its forms, including:

neglect;

domestic violence in childhood;

sexual abuse; and

other adverse childhood events known as complex trauma.

Brisbane City Psychologists donated all proceeds from 20-minute consultations during August and September 2017 to BeyondBlue.

3 million Australians currently experience anxiety or depression and every day nearly 8 people commit suicide.

Beyondblue’s mission is to provide support, tools and information for all Australians to achieve their best possible mental health and support those around them struggling with anxiety and depression.

The team at Brisbane City Psychologists has kindly volunteered 100+ hours so far to deliver free services to the Brisbane community in the form of:

complimentary individual consultations at our practice;

complimentary mental health workshops at organisations big and small, in an effort to promote mental health wellbeing in the Brisbane professional community.

Praise & Recognition

Brisbane City Psychologists was a finalist for the prestigious Queensland Mental Health Week Achievement Awards, which celebrates and recognises outstanding achievement, commitment and effort in the mental health space by individuals and organisations big and small.
